Girs’ Generation’s “I Got a Boy” album takes top spots on Billboard’s World Album chart, number 2 on Heatseekers Albums and the title track is number 1 on the official K-Pop 100 charts. The song’s also charting on the Japan Hot 100 and YouTube rankings. Phew!

The nine girls are also doing well on their home turf. On this week’s M! Countdown and Music Bank shows, “I Got a Boy” scooped wins on both.

PSY is currently in Los Angeles working on his second single. On January 26 he will travel to Paris, France, for the NRJ Music Awards, where he is nominated in three different categories, including best International New Singer.
